Choosing a Great Biochemistry School for Your Bachelor's Degree

Your choice of biochemistry for getting your bachelor's degree school matters. Important measures of a quality biological chemistry program can vary widely even among the top schools. When choosing a school we recommend considering some of the following factors:

Quality Overall Is Important

The overall quality of a bachelor's degree school is important to ensure a good education, not just how well they do in a particular major. To take this into account we include a college's overall Best Colleges ranking which itself looks at a collection of different factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.

Other Factors We Consider

The metrics below are just some of the other metrics that we use to determine our rankings.

• Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to biochemistry students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of biochemistry students who choose to seek a bachelor's degree at the school.
• Educational Resources - How many resources are allocated to students. These resources may include educational expenditures per student, number of students per instructor, and graduation rate among other things.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized biochemistry related body.

Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for biochemistry students working on their bachelor's degree.
